Could you imagine them all wandering out of their mom’s basements en mass and blinking as they saw the sun for the first time in years?

Like the ending scene of City of Ember where the kids see the sunrise for the first time in their lives

Two good wallpaper forums, and the second largest retro shooter/doom/quake community on the internet.

4chan was more than crypto scams and jailbait.

I’m sure they’ll come back, but might take a while if they first upgrade their 10 year old PHP to eliminate the dozens of known exploits they were vulnerable to.

Did they ever give a motive, or are they just doing it for the clout

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They did it for the lulz

Honestly, I don't know what took so damn long lol

Soyjack.party that spawned off from 4chan after /qa/ board got put down on the wave of soyjack spam. Hackers brought /qa/ board back and gave an announcement of the hack there, from the account they granted mod privileges.

A few technical claims about the site here. If true they were long overdue.

We will start anew 4chan with blackjack and hookers.
